soc-camera : add new flags

Hi,

I am trying to use soc-camera for our camera IP.

Our IP allow to chose if the synchronization is done according to ITU-R BT601 or ITU-R BT656.
Can new flag be added to negotiate the synchronization standard between host and sensor.

Our IP also allow to select if the data on the bus is transmitted on the CbYCrY order or YCbYCr order.

Yes, sure, send a patch. Just add required SOCAM_SYNC_{GATED,NONGATED,BT601,BT656} (or whatever you'd like to call them) flags, and extend soc_camera_bus_param_compatible() to verify them.

Different statement but the same question? If you wanted to ask about colour format then just use different YUYV / UYVY / ... fourcc codes.

How do you differentiate color format of the bus and the color format output by v4l ?

In our case the bus format can be YUYV or UYVY, but the host camera IP can only output YUV422P/YUV420/YVU420.
